2 nights at joyville, camping site on elk creek

Beautiful spot just 20 min. drive in to Boone. Their gravel Rd. alone made a good hike up for exercise, wide, didn't have to battle weeds or wet rocks/roots. Stream next to camping spot a real plus for swimming hole/dog swim. Water's cold! Facilities spare yet comfortable, nice porch, extra room add-on with screens, not sure what they're gonna turn that into, but their mattresses were comfortable and perfect to sleep on in my sleeping bag liner. Didn't meet Garry but Dianne was a good hostess, made herself available and stayed out of our hair. Separate kitchen with large shelf was perfect to cook/prepare/store on without using up the picnic table. We didn't have a fire or use their wooden dowels to roast marshmallows, but nice touch! Port-a-jon kept clean as was the cabin, she must vacuum the walls things were without cobwebs! We used the floor fan 2nd night. Great stay!, I'd go back!

2 nights at joyville, camping site on elk creek

Very welcoming hosts. True to description. Charming surroundings and close to many options. Dog friendly.

1 night at Hippie Hollow

I only stayed for one night, and the land was lovely. The owner was very sweet and helpful, the bathroom was clean and he even let us use the outdoor kitchen, which was really convenient. Seems like a good place to see some music when they have bands playing. The only thing to be aware of is the proximity to the road, which does have some cars and trucks driving throughout the night, so, if you are tent camping, expect to hear it! Otherwise, a very nice stop through a lovely area.

Weekend Trip to Riverside At TimberRidge

This was such a an incredible setting for a couple of nights of camping and chilling!

3 nights at Hippie Hollow

This is such a fun little place to stay! We had quite a bit of rain while we were there so we didn't get out too often yo explore the area, but we did get to enjoy a Grateful Dead cover band on our last night. It was so much fun! We felt like we were surrounded by our kind of people! We're already making some loose plans for a return trip this fall.

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

This is a great spot! Jeremy was very personable and laid back. I caught four fish in the Stream which made me feel like a man. There was even a concert Saturday night at the campground. Perfectly located about a mile to Floyd which is an awesome town. We will be back.

1 night at Paddlers Creekside Campground

Very peaceful and relaxing beside a beautiful creek can't get too much better.

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

What a hidden gem! You can tell much care and thought was put into making this site welcoming in every way. Friendly hosts and guests, clean, easy to access & close to everything fun in Floyd. We loved the shady space we reserved (perfect for our tent), and the outdoor kitchen is a fantastic amenity! Dodds Creek is lovely, access here is just "walk right in" and perfect for dogs and kids to play in!

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Paddlers Campground was exceptional. Easy to make reservations to following GPS directions to arrive there. The off-grid primitive camping is nice and private with a table and fire pit provided at each spacey spot on the creek side bank. Ample space to play badminton, football, etc or rent kayaks or floats and enjoy crystal clear water flowing to New River. We fell asleep listening to fox bark and owls hooting and woke up to a large buck with many point antlers standing close by to our spot. The owners are fantastic at keeping the grounds clean and very outgoing and personable. This has become our number one day trip and hopefully we can schedule more overnights. Love it!

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

Beautiful area. Easy to access. The creek was fun to play in. Lots of dogs. (I wish mine was Friendlier) the music was awesome! #Brokenhalosband Everyone was so friendly!

Weekend Trip to 100 Acre Wood

100 Acre Wood is a beautiful site with an absolutely lovely host. David was kind enough to meet us at the house to show us the way to the campsite and even took us on a tour of the property, including the woodworking shop! The views of the mountains and the sunset from our tent was something that will bring me back over and over again. The property is well maintained, and there was plenty of firewood both provided and easy to find around the site itself. David sold me on the views of the Up Top campsite during the fall; I'm excited to come back around that time and see for myself!

1 night at Hippie Hollow

Beautiful land/creek. Outdoor kitchen is a cool addition. Jeremy super welcoming and friendly. Great stay!

1 night at 100 Acre Wood

100 Acre Wood is one of my new favorites! David is an awesome host! Clear communication and quick responses. His property is lovingly cared for and offers some amazing views. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning!

1 night at Tri Mountain View

This was my favorite site of our 10 site tour. The location is incredible, not a bad view anywhere. We had the place to ourselves but the other campsites are spread out well. You can make friends or keep to yourself. There are lots of amenities at a great price, including wifi and a bathhouse. The hosts were really helpful. Nearby Damascus, VA was a treat. I hope we get to come back and stay awhile.

1 night at The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Cheryl is kind and supportive! The bathroom is clean and comfortable.

2 nights at Blue Bear Mountain Camp

This was a very beautiful and quiet area, flat area for tents and trees around in this site for privacy.

5 nights at Loafers Joy Meadow

We stayed five nights and had a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend this site to others. The area was very quiet and peaceful. It took us approximately 30 minutes to get to Blowing Rock. Michael was available, but certainly not intrusive. Our only suggestion would be to have an extension on your awning for the west facing sun. It really was not a bother to us, since we were usually gone in the afternoon. You will be rewarded though with an absolutely gorgeous sunset over the mountains as the fireflies make an appearance. We were able to dump our tanks at the Boone KOA.

1 night at Hippie Hollow

I was on the road for 11hrs before making a stop at this hip camp. The owner was such a nice dude with a good vibe and willing to show you around. I stayed in the mini pop up camper and honestly you’d sleep better than you think. You’re right beside a nice active flowing stream and nestled into the woods but also not to far from the stores around the local area. 1min to a dollar tree and 8mins from a gas station, so if you need anything it’ll be close. The shower was my favorite thing though, after being on the road I wasn’t even aware I could get a shower and the nice homeowner offered me one in this shower trailer and lemme tell you that water gets hotttt. Overall a nice place I would stop again for the nice chat and scenery again.

Weekend Trip to Hidden River Experience

This was a beautiful and well maintained site! We had a great time floating the river from Conley Creek Rd??? access I think it was and got right off at our site. We woke up to deer across the river playing in the morning and went to bed with plenty of stars to gaze. The host was awesome and directions were easy.

4 nights at 100 Acre Wood

My husband and I had an amazing time staying on Dave’s property. The property is absolutely stunning and Dave is nice enough to give you a tour if you’d like. We booked the up on top site but quickly learned it was going to be too hot without any tree coverage, and Dave was more than willing to allow us to move to the Bruington meadow which provided ample shade and it was much more comfortable! If you have the time take a drive to cascade falls (Dave’s suggestion) for one of the most breathtaking waterfalls and swimming holes. All in all it was an unforgettable holiday weekend and will absolutely be returning day.

Camping in Blue Ridge Parkway guide

Overview

About

There’s not a single stoplight on the Blue Ridge Parkway to interrupt your driving reverie, but deer, turkey, and the occasional bear might slow you down. The byway links Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. You won’t find any commercial developments along the nation’s most popular scenic drive, but there are eight campgrounds, all of which accommodate tents and RVs, and provide restrooms, water, and dump stations. If parkway campgrounds (open May through October) are full, descend on a state park or mountain town.

Where to go

Shenandoah National Park & Rockfish Gap

The parkway begins at Rockfish Gap on Afton Mountain just south of Shenandoah National Park. Explore the new Crozet Tunnel Trail (bring your flashlight), then kick off your drive south. Nearby campgrounds include Loft Mountain Campground in Shenandoah National Park and Sherando Lake Campground in the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest.

Northern Blue Ridge Parkway

The Parkway curves south along the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with the Appalachian Trail running alongside it all the way to Roanoke. Scenic overlooks share views of rolling farmlands to the east and the lush Shenandoah Valley to the west. Hiking trails climb to overlooks while side roads lead to charming small towns. Spend the night at Otter Creek Campground or continue south to the campground and lodge at the Peaks of Otter, a high-elevation crossroads.

Southwest Virginia

Anchoring southwest Virginia, Roanoke is a welcoming place for a meal and regional culture. Don’t miss a climb to the Roanoke Star, a neon beacon shining over the Roanoke Valley at night. The Parkway continues south, twisting past wineries, mountain music venues, and a historic mill. Camp at Rocky Knob Campground or a nearby state park.

North Carolina High Country

With dark tunnels, roaring waterfalls, and a lush forest backdrop, the Parkway feels untamed in the high country, a region also known for its Appalachian culture and fun mountain towns, which include Boone and Blowing Rock. Brake for the gorgeous scenery at Linville Falls and Mount Mitchell, which is the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River. You’ll find campgrounds at Doughton Park, Julian Price, and Linville Falls.

Asheville & Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Hikers, hippies, and craft beer fans coexist in Asheville, a just-about-perfect mountain town. Camp at the Crabtree Falls Campground or Mount Pisgah Campground along the Parkway or wait until entering Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the end of your scenic journey. There are nine developed campgrounds in the national park. Glamping options, from cabins to tiny houses to yurts, are plentiful in the surrounding mountain foothills.

Due to the hurricane, the parkway is difficult to navigate in NC. There are a lot of closures and detours. The Cascades hiking trail was unreachable, though it stated it was open online.

Peaks of Otter Campground

We arrived at 645 pm just before the campground closed. We were able to check in, but if you arrive late, you can pitch your tent and sign in and pay via envelope. No outside firewood is allowed, but the store a short drive away sells bundles, as does the Peaks of Otter Lodge nearby. We stayed at site A 25. The campground wasn't empty, but prive sites were easy to find. The weather was perfect, our tent pad was flat, and the facilities were more than adequate. The campground is a few hundred yards from the trailhead for Sharp Top Mountain, and not much further to a few less strenuous trails.
